WE ARE BACK NOW!!!

Farmville 2 News(52)

On 7/3, FarmVille 2 will release My Family Farm to everyone! Soon, you'll get to experience all-new features like the Family FarmhouseandFarming Jobs. That's right, farmers. The wait is almost over!

Before you send your sweetheart into The Cave, we wanted to share a final bit of concept art. To do that we turned to Senior Producer Alex, who gave us some great pieces and a glimpse into the future of My Family Farm.

Take it away, Alex!

Evolution of a Loading Screen

For big new features like My Family Farm, we really like to create a new loading screen. These loading screen images require work to capture the spirit and feel of the feature, so we often start on them early in the design phase. Below you can see some early sketches for MFF that include not only your sweetheart, but kids as well.

"Some early sketches for My Family Farm.."

[As] we moved forward with designing the feature we decided to move the release of kids to a later date (but they are coming soon!) so that we could really focus on building the relationship with your sweetheart.That said, you'll probably see some similarities in sketch 3 above to our current MFF loading screen, and in the concept below you can see an even further progression towards the final loading screen.

By this point, we had established that we wanted to show the new Family Farmhouse in the background, and include a happy couple working on learning the new Animal Care farm job by feeding pigs in the foreground.

"Similar to Sketch #3, above."

And in the very-close-to-final screen below, you can see that a lot more detail has been added (including animals reaping the benefits of the Animal Care Farm Job), and the entire image has had a beautiful pain-over to bring it to life.

Early Access to My Family Farm is available, and on 7/3 General Access will arrive. To get you ready, we're tearching farmers about the Farming Jobs your sweetheart can do to help out around the farm!

Farming Jobs Part 3:

In addition to the Farming Jobs that you probably recognize by now - Crop Care, Tree Care, Animal Care, Baby Animal Care, and Tree Pruning - there are new types of Farming Jobs your spouse can learn: Foraging, Pearl Diving, and Cave Exploring.

These new farming jobs give special items that are worth a lot when you craft with them. For instance, in the image below you can see that the Pearl Diving farming job gives you Pearls under the Job Benefits heading.

"Pearl Diving gives you Pearls!"

If you go to your Crafting Workshop, you'll see a number of new items you can craft using Pearls that are worth a lot. For instance, Heirloom White Pearl Cream is worth a lot of coins!

In addition to the coin value of many of the new items you can find using the farming jobs, orders that ask for these items are worth a lot more too! For instance, in the order below that asks for Pearls from the Pearl Diving farm job and Mushrooms from the Foraging farm Job, you can see that not only is the order worth a good amount of coins, but it is worth 5 Favors. This number of favors is almost twice as much as regular orders!

"The new farm job areas will help you gain both coins and favors faster!"

Your sweetheart starts with only two Energy, but as they learn more Farming jobs they’ll gain more Energy to use. The last farm job area you unlock and teach to your sweetheart is Cave Exploring, which comes with something extra. The fourth and final Energy is earned by learning Cave Exploring.

The American Brown Buffalo quests tasks require you to place and build a Buffalo Gate, collect Buffalo Treats by completing three Quests for Gus, and craft Plain Soaps to clean your new friend. Click on the “Build It!” button to get started.

Note: You can send requests for materials to your Friends every 18 hours.

Once you have collected the required items, click on the “Start Building!” button at the bottom of the construction Menu.

Once you have built your Buffalo Gate, you will need to hire Friends to help you finish the job! The Buffalo Gate requires four crewmembers, so click on the “Ask Friends” button to send some crew requests to your Friends. When they accept, you will see the spots in the Builder Menu begin to fill. If you do not want to wait for your friends, click the “Hire One” button to purchase crew members with Farm Bucks. Once you have successfully filled all four spots, click on the “Finish Building” button.

The next step in this quest is to collect Buffalo Treats by completing three Quests for Gus! Click on the blue "Go To Quest" button to complete the first three of Gus’s ‘Get Buffaloed!’ Quests (Don’t Buffalo Me, A Nickel For Your Thoughts, and There’s the Rub). If you do not wish to complete any of these quests, you can skip this step for Farm Bucks.

Click on the turquoise "Share" button to share some of your rewards with Friends!

The final step in the quest is to craft Plain Soaps to clean your new friend! To craft Plain Soaps, you will need the following Ingredients: Lye (Pieces of Wood & Water) and Olive Oil (Olives & Flasks). Click on the blue "Make It!" button to head into the Crafting Workshop to get started.

Note: If you do not wish to complete these tasks, you can skip this step for Farm Bucks.

It looks like the baby American Brown Buffalo has warmed up to you! Click on the “Share” button to post a reward feed for your friends. Make sure to feed your little buffalo Baby Bottles so it will grow into an adult American Brown Buffalo that you can harvest forFur!

Additional Information:

You have 14 days to complete the American Brown Buffalo Tasks. If you do not complete them, the buffalo will disappear and you will be unable to claim it!

If you want to see how much time you have left to claim the American Brown Buffalo, hover your cursor over her.

You can only rescue the American Brown Buffalo once.

You do need to complete the first three of Gus’s ‘Get Buffaloed!’ Quests (Don’t Buffalo Me, A Nickel For Your Thoughts, and There’s the Rub).

Once you have rescued the baby American Brown Buffalo, the Gate can be moved, stored in Inventory, or sold.
